A teacher was swept to her death in a flooded river after a tourist boat capsized during a pleasure trip.
Ana Flavia de Abreu Santos Rosa, 26, was carried off by powerful currents caused by heavy rainfall and dragged down rapids for 1.5 kilometres (0.93 miles).
Her body was found by a firefighter rescue team washed up on the Rio Claro river in Montes Claros de Goias, in the Brazilian state of Goias, two days later on 20th April.

Six other people in the boat were rescued by other river users.
But none of the seven people on board had been wearing life jackets, according to the police.
Firefighters said that the river was at full flood with very murky waters and strong rapids, which they believe probably caused the boat's sinking.

Ana Flavia's heartbroken husband, Ramon Lucas, 27, said: "She was very loving, she always fought for the whole family. She loved animals, we even have some rescued animals at home.
"She was a great wife, she loved taking care of and working with children."
